Joy. Captchas as usually realized are evil. They cannot be solved by blind 
people, and make it difficult for people using text browsers. Sound captchas 
(much rarer) still can have issues for the deaf and people without sound 
hardware. Captchas based on some kind of logical puzzle would be fine, but I 
suspect bots could end up learning the answers to them, since such puzzles 
are very difficult to generate automatically, and so you end up having to 
recycle them often. I suggest that something like HashCash or some form of 
PKI is going to have to be the solution.
